Daphne Elder knows she isn't normal-- and she loves it. It isn't just her deep love of plants that makes her different, or her habit of adopting stray cats off the streets. Daphne is a witch, which means she's far from normal, but she can't imagine a better life. That is, until her mother is called away to fight in the War against evil and Daphne is left with nothing but her wand, her wits, and a powerful spellbook to keep herself out of trouble. But when a strange non-magical girl discovers the world of dark creatures lurking underneath Detroit and even darker secrets hidden in what she thought she knew best, Daphne will need more than that to save her city. Maybe all she needs are some friends. Cover by @NatStark16 Completed 2017 Wattpad Featured Story 5/17/2018 - 6/7/2018 Edited 2019 28,986 Words

Rhonda Jenkins isn't a lawyer, she isn't a PI, she doesn't even have so much as a 2-year community college degree (dropped out after her first year) but what she does have is motivation. Why? Because this particular murder hit close to home for her. Rhonda never knew her father. He and her mother split up before she was born. She isn't even sure if her father even knew she existed. Growing up, her mother always refused to talk about him, so eventually, Rhonda stopped asking. However, when her mother calls her up to tell her that her father was murdered, Rhonda can't help but wonder what happened to this man she never knew. Why would someone want to kill her father? What kind of man was he? What did he get himself mixed up in? The police have no motive, no DNA evidence and thus far, no solid suspects, so Rhonda decides to do some sleuthing of her own. As she begins to uncover clues to the identity of her father's killer, she could never have prepared herself for the web she finds herself tangled up in. Rhonda had always enjoyed reading mystery novels and now she has the opportunity to live out her own! But what Rhonda doesn't know is that someone else out there knows that she is the offspring of the deceased...
